• Where to Fish on Oknoname 12501 Reservoir

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. Built water gives depth close in, which suits a bank angler. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Across Pottawatomie County, recorded fish include bluegill, green sunfish, white crappie, largemouth bass and channel catfish. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. On this water that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about 37°F in January to roughly 82°F in July. The surface stays open the year round. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer squeezes it into the edges of the day. Autumn steadies things again once the heat lets go. Time your trip to this water by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Oknoname 12506 Reservoir sits 1.2 miles off and takes the overflow. Check the current arrangement for this water.
